A photo without a description is invisible to a screen reader user. Not vague—invisible. ✨ Make it a habit to add alt text to every image you post. Tip: describe it like you're telling a friend on the phone what's in it. No need for every detail, just enough that someone gets the same picture.

Green and purple graphic with the text, "Social media that works for everyone. Add image descriptions." Additional points: "Describe every image using alt text," and "For animated images, put the description in the post text." Logo at the bottom reads, "CAST | Until learning has no limits."

We're excited to share that the CITES AT Guidance Myths & Facts resources are now available in Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish! These resources make it easier to access clear, accurate information about assistive technology and support more inclusive learning for all. cites.cast.org/get-started/...

Alt text: The image contrasts a myth on the left with a fact on the right about assistive technology and UDL, written in Arabic. The left side with a red prohibition symbol states a myth, implying assistive technology and UDL are the same. The right side, with a green checkmark, states the fact that they have distinct definitions under federal law. Graphics include a wheelchair symbol, an ear with sound waves, a keyboard, and a grid. The bottom left has the logo of "IDEAs that Work, U.S. Office of Special Education Programs."
